Court has set 26 August as the date when Commercial Court judge, Justice David Wangutusi, will give a ruling in the case brought against city businessman Sudhir Ruparelia by Crane Bank in receivership. During yesterday’s submissions, Sudhir’s lawyers led by Peter Kabatsi, argued that an institution in receivership has no right to sue or be sued since the Financial Institutions Act (FIA) which is a financial governing body does not say so.

On the contrary, Crane Bank in receivership lawyer led by Dr. Joseph Byamugisha submitted that when a financial institution is placed under receivership, it does not also lose its powers to sue or be sued since it still remains a corporate entity.

In the main case BoU had asked court to compel Sudhir pay Shs397 billion. Sudhir’s lawyers led by Kabatsi objected and reasoned that an institution in receiver has no right to sue because it is an illegality and as such the institution of the suit is an illegality quoting section 92.25a of the Financial Institutions Act (FIA)

Dr. Byamugisha says the actions weren’t commenced by BoU but rather by Crane Bank that could sue and be sued.

Byamugisha further said it is only the company with the right to sue but not the board because the board is suspended. However, this was contested by Sudhir’s lawyers.

In May 2019, Sudhir Ruparelia and Meera Investments lodged an application seeking court to dismiss a suit in which CBL in receivership sued the two applicants yet it had no legal capacity to do .

As Bank of Uganda continues to grapple with currency note saga, the latest reports gathered by www.mknewslink.com  indicate that its communications directors are being accused of failing to rapidly and effectively manage the crisis that has left the Central Bank exposed.

In the recent past Bank of Uganda (BoU) has been embroiled in several scandals which compelled the public to question the current leadership’s ability to foster price and macro-economic stability and a sound financial system.

This came after money printing scandal broke out in which several officials were probed while others charged and remanded to Luzira Prison.

Mid last month, online media outlets broke a story in which a plane chartered by Bank of Uganda to transport printed currency had extra five pallets of cargo to which up to date no Ugandan knows what was in contained in the cargo.

Police and State House constituted investigations which have left three officials imprisoned.

The public highly anticipates that the pallets contained printed cash which was confirmed by police while other government authorities denied.

Against the background of this saga which received massive media coverage, two directors of communication could lose their jobs over what top administrators refer to as “failing and sleeping on the job.”

www.mknewslink.com  has learnt that BoU director of communications, Ms. Charity Mugumya received threats from her bosses that she has not done “enough” in managing the crisis and subsequently she could lose her job.
